The ADA recommends HK titles for CSSD candidates

The Commission on Dietetic Registration recognizes that registered dieticians (RDs) who also gain a specialty credential will help set them apart and show that they are knowledgeable in their chosen fields. As such, the Commission developed numerous specialty credentials, including certification in Sports Dietetics. Board Certified Specialists in Sports Dietetics (CSSD) apply evidence-based nutrition knowledge in exercise and sports to assess, educate, and counsel athletes and active individuals. They design, implement, and manage safe and effective nutrition strategies that enhance lifelong health, fitness, and optimal performance.
